Bildungsroman -- a novel of education/development A type of novel that treats the personal development of a single individual, usually in youth. It focuses on the psychological and moral growth of a character from youth to adulthood. It tells the story of a sensitive youth looking for answers and experience.

Features: It often begins with an emotional loss or some sort of discontent which causes the protagonist to go out into the world to seek his/her fortune. The goal is maturity; the protagonist gains it gradually and with difficulty. It often centers around a conflict between the protagonist and society – the protagonist’s wants and needs versus the views and judgments enforced by an unbending social order.
